Bitwarden is now verified on Flathub for Linux
  • Probably a bit more polished UX (especially for not too tech-savy people)

    but I'd say the biggest difference is integrated multidevice support, either via their cloud or selfhosted...

    What is it with this `externally-managed-environment` pip install error?
  • In some Linux distributions it blocks you from installing system packages via pip, often there are then packages which can be installed via your distros package manager.

    With arch for example:

    sudo pacman -S python-'package'

    Or, as others mentioned using venv.

    Question: What is Linux misinformation?
  • For me, it's hardware support, i.e my laptops fingerprint sensor just isn't supported, for the speakers to work I had to find a script that remapped the speakers, multiple desktops (especially with different resolutions) are a pain.

    But the killer at the moment is a good solution to manage and post process my raw photos. Went from Lightroom to On1 Photo RAW...unfortunately DarkTable is still not there yet. Also still missing the affinity suite on Linux :-(

    Also, sadly these tools also don't run well in a VM

    What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructure
  • I'm coding them down as plantuml network code and render them using a selfhosted plantuml Server.

    In the end my whole admin guide resides in a obsidian notebook as markdown There is even a plugin that renders plantuml code within obsidian

    The nice thing: everything is just code and can be moved to any other tool (had my documentation in a local gitlab repo, but I swapped gitlab out for gitea)

    Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?
  • Yep, I went in this direction...until I gave in during a bare metal install of something...

    Docker is not hassle free but usually most setup guides for apps are much much easier with docker

    Synology not working in different subnet - please help
  • I changed the native vlan to '83' and allowed all others

    The isoöation is done with firewall rules blocking access from the IoT net to default, with some exceptions (dns, media nas (currently), etc.)

    Synology not working in different subnet - please help
  • So if I understand this right you will need to change the network on the port attached to the synology in your UniFi configuration or set the vlan tag in the synology OS, I would do the former.

    doesn't the switch terminate any VLAN tagging at the port? so if I add the VLAN to the DSM configuration it doesn't receive any tagged packages and refuses them?

    It sounds like you just added a second network/vlan to the existing interface which means you actually created a trunk and are getting the old network untagged and the new network with vlan tags which the synology is dropping.

    with all the other devices in the IoT subnet it works with setting the VLAN on the port of the switch. If I check back on the unifi site, I found this:

    'Applying a VLAN to a Switch Port
    Native VLAN
    
    The Native VLAN is the VLAN assigned to "untagged" traffic passing through a switch port. Devices physically connected to a switch port will be placed on this Native VLAN.
    Tagged Networks and Trunk Ports
    
    Ports can be configured to allow traffic from other networks. Allowing specific networks/VLANs is referred to as “tagging” them on the switch port. You can see all ports’ VLAN tags in the VLAN Viewer, found in the Ports tab.
    
    Ports that have been tagged to allow traffic from multiple VLANs are referred to as “trunk” ports. By default, all ports on UniFi Switches are trunked to allow all VLANs. '
    

    if I understand that in combination with your comment correctly: I set the native VLAN to 83 so everything tagged with 83 is correctly forwarded to the NAS and accepted there, stuff tagged with 1 are non native, the tag stays on and the NAS doesn't accept it?

    But that would make the Synology NAS quite hard to use in any corporate setting with multiple VLANs which need to interconnect and why does it work the other way around? while being in the default net 1 it does accept stuff from VLAN 83

    Synology OS also doesn’t really support trunked ports through the UI (even though it does support a port that only uses a vlan tag) so it’s much easier to just leave them untagged.

    which would mean, I can't put it in the IoT net?

    Synology not working in different subnet - please help
  • It’s normal for a switch to strip a vlan tag when it sends a packet out, so that the endpoint doesn’t have to support vlans. Don’t worry about that. As far as the endpoint is concerned, it’s just normal subnetting.

    okay that's what I thought

    When it’s on the other vlan, can you even ping it? When you check the packet capture, can you see the ping and response? Where does it get dropped?

    if I try to ping it it doesn't answer, the unifi logs do show that the packages have been forwarded to the subnet. If I use netcat to open a port on the other device it receives the connection request, but the NAS doesn't recognize it. Maybe I have to do some Wiresharking on a mirror port to see what exactly comes back, hoped I could get around it

    Synology not working in different subnet - please help
  • I'm a bit hesitant to activate the tag in the DSM, as it states that it then needs a tagged counterpart to be reachable, and since all the other devices in this subnet aren't tagged anymore (as the switch untags the vlan at the port)

    Connect a laptop into the same subnet as your Nas (so same vlan and IP range/subnet) and connect to the nas. This either eliminates the NAS or the router from the equation

    did that, the NAS is easily reachable from within the subnet it's only a problem from another subnet

  • Hi everyone

    I'm fighting with a network issue, where my synology nas doesn't accept any connection from outside it's subnet.

    So, here's my setup:

    • Unifi Infrastructure with three separated subnets:

      • default: xxx.xxx.2.0/24 - no vlan - pool with all "safe" devices (notebooks, mobiles, servers etc.)
      • IoT: xxx.xxx.83.0/24 - vlan 83 - here are all the IoT devices, including nvidia shield, multiple chromecast music devices etc.)
      • guest: xxx.xxx.20.0/20 - vlan 20 - quarantined guest wlan
      • dns server are locally hosted at xxx.xxx.2.42 and 43
    • my I got a new NAS and i designated my old DS214play (running DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6) as a Mediaserver that gets to live in the IoT net:

      • changed the ip from xxx.xxx.2.50 to xxx.xxx.83.50
      • updated the gateway and subnet
      • added the vlan tag 83 on the network port
      • updated the firewall to allow all necessary ports from and to the default network (so I can stream plex to my notebooks etc.)
    • The Firewall on the NAS is not activated

    Issue:

    • My NAS doesn't accept any outside connections after moving it to the IoT subnet, neither from my default network nor the internet.

    What I tried:

    • allowed full access between LAN and IoT subnet for the NAS.
    • tried it with another port -> same issue
    • connected another device to this port (and setup the same firewall rules) -> this one works fine.
    • checked the unifi firewall logs --> requests get sent from the nas and answers from the other device
    • checked logs of other devices (DNS, NetCat etc.) --> they receive the requests outside of the subnet, and return their anser but the NAS seems to block/ignore any incoming packages.

    What I didn't try:

    • setting the VLAN id under "Network Interface" > "LAN" > "Enable VLAN(802.1Q)" since, as far as I understand, the Unifi VLAN implementation terminates the VLAN tag at the port of the switch (and all other devices work without specifying it locally)
    • fully reset the NAS

    I'm completely stuck how to solve the issue, so I have moved the NAS back to the default net, but some use cases are not working properly that way, so I'd really like to move it to the IoT subnet. Does anybody have (has?) any hints or knows of some obscure settings which need to be updated? I'd be really grateful for any pointers.

    Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules
  • Running tasker on a unrooted Fairphone 5 There is a function "System Lock" which locks the phone so you have to enter the PIN. I created a task and a widget on the home screen that triggers the task

    I did give tasker some extra rights via adb, which is a quite straight forward process. I think the dev even has a guide for it...
